Component List to define schedules
Day_schedule
Component used for simple definition of daily variation of a value.
Parameters
- time_steps [int-list, unit = "s", default = [3600], min = 1]: time steps where the values change.
- values [float-list, default = [0,10]]: Values for the time steps defined in the previous parameter. It must always contain one more element than the parameter "time_steps".
- interpolation [option, default = "STEP", options = ["STEP","LINEAR"]]: Procedure used to obtain the values at each of the simulation instants. "STEP": The value changes in the form of a step. "LINEAR": The value changes linearly between the values defined in the schedule.
Example:
...
day = pro.new_component("Day_schedule","day")
param = {
"time_steps": [7200,3600],
"values": [10,20,15],
"interpolation": "STEP"
}
day.set_parameters(param)
The first three hours of the day (7200 s) the value is 10, the next hour (3600 s) 20, and from that instant to the end of the day 15.
Using "interpolation": "LINEAR" this would be the result
Week_schedule
Component used for simple definition of week variation of a value. It uses to Day_schedule components
Parameters
- days-schedules [component-list, default = ["not_defined"], component type = Day_schedule]: Day_schedule used for the different days of the week. It can contain one value (it will be the one used for all days) or seven values, the Day_schedules for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Example:
...
week = pro.new_component("Week_schedule","week")
param = {
"days_schedules": ["working_day","working_day","working_day","working_day","working_day","holiday_day","holiday_day"]
}
week.set_parameters(param)
The Day_schedule called "working_day" will be used from Monday to Friday, "holiday_day" will be used on Saturday an Sunday.
Year_schedule
Component used for simple definition of year variation of a value. It uses to Week_schedule components
Parameters
- periods [string-list, default = ["01/06"]]: Ends of the different periods. Each of them must be in "dd:mm" format. The begining of the first period is "01/01" and the end of the last period "31/12"
- weeks_schedules [component-list, default = ["not_defined","not_defined]]: Week_schedule to be used in the different periods. It must always contain one more element than the parameter "periods".
Example:
...
year = pro.new_component("Year_schedule","year")
param = {
"periods": ["31/07","31/08"],
"weeks_schedules": ["working_week","holiday_week","working_week"]
}
year.set_parameters(param)
The Week_schedule called "holiday_week" will be used for August and "working_week" for the rest of the year.
Variables
- values: values obtained using year, weeks and days schedules for each of the simulation time steps.
If the project to be simulated has the daylight_saving parameter activated, summer time will be taken into account when obtaining the hourly values by shifting the values by one hour during the daylight saving period.
